The session ID provides additional security for remote maintenance.
If parameter A168 is set in the gateway device so that the session ID will be
prompted for remote maintenance, the service technician can only make the
connection to the drive controller by specifying the session ID.
If the blue LED does not flash even though remote maintenance is activated,
you can see the cause in parameter A178.

Activate remote maintenance
1. The person responsible for the machine turns on the signal parameterized
in A167 for the drive controllers that will participate in remote
maintenance.
The drive controllers declare themselves. The LEDs on sockets X3A
and X3B flash very rapidly.
When the connection to the teleserver is set up, the blue LEDs for
sockets X3A and X3B flash regularly. The drive controller shows its
serial number in the display.
If A168 = 1:with session ID is set in the gateway device, the session
ID is displayed in addition to the serial number.
The person responsible for the machine has activated remote
maintenance. He sends a message to the service technician and tells him
the serial number of a device in the IGB network and if applicable the
session ID.
